There was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.0 this morning in American Canyon, CA, app. 60 km northeast of San Francisco, in a depth of app. 10 km. Aftershocks varied from 1.8 to 2.3 magnitude. A tsunami bulletin has been issued.   According to katheliz the tremor was bad enough to knock over a vase and some cutting boards that were leaning against a cupboard. She says that, judging from the direction the cutting boards fell, the tremor went north-south. It was felt as far south as Hayward, app. 60 km southeast of San Francisco.   Chile also reported an earthquake of similar magnitude.

When I left home this morning I picked up the newspaper on the bench next to the door and realized 10 paces further on that it was yesterday's that was lying there waiting to be thrown into the old paper bin (one of four garbage cans outside our door). Today's paper was on the kitchen counter waiting to be put into my bag.
